Correction to: Communications Biology https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-022-03841-8, published online 14 September 2022.

In the original version of the Article, the 8th paragraph of the discussion stated “Another model suggests that HCQ could inhibit the SARS-COV-2 viral entry step by changing the glycosylation of membrane proteins77,78.”

The text should read “Another model suggests that the HCQ could inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 viral entry step by inhibiting the binding of the spike protein to the sugar head group of GM177,78.”

This has now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
